​​HOUSTON - Another Houston-area private high school has launched a multimillion-dollar capital campaign to fund an expansion.

St. Pius X High School, a co-ed private high school north of the 610 Loop and west of I-45, launched a capital campaign to fund a $9.1 million building that will serve as the school's 27,000-sf Center for the Sciences and Media.

The building should open in time for the upcoming fall semester.

The institution still needs to raise $2.9 million to fully fund the development.

The building broke ground in September.

The facility is part of a broader, $13 million expansion that kicked off in 2009.

Also part of the expansion was a $4.3 million facility that housed the school's program for students with learning disabilities, as well as renovations and expansions to the school's public spaces, administrative offices and west campus facilities.
